A Sculpture

Last June, Douglas Haas, my husband, commissioned Waterloo artist Lloyd Walker (http://www.lloydwalkerdesign.com/Welcome.html) to create a sculpture celebrating the May publication of my book, A Land in the Storytelling Sea, in Malta.

It’s an extraordinarily beautiful work–the loveliest gift I’ve ever received–standing 26″ (66 cm). A writer sits at the edge of her chair, poised to autograph her book. Behind her is a Maltese cross, beside her a luzzu, a Maltese fishing boat–two of the country’s most recognizable symbols.
